A new report from Nielsen shows that video on demand, or time-shifted content, is a fast-growing part of the television ecosystem, providing new and exciting opportunities for digital marketers.
According to Nielsen's Q1 2014 Cross-Platform Report, video on demand (VOD) has come of age over the last two years.
Whether they're watching last night's drama, last season's premiere of a sitcom, or an original series that doesn't even air on terrestrial television, Americans are digitally smitten with discovering, catching up on, and accessing content on their own terms. And it's this content availability that has helped power a sharp video viewing curve, as mobile device penetration, coupled with on-demand options, continues to grow, and as viewers spend more time watching.
Currently available in more than 60 percent of U.S. households, VOD is increasingly contributing to the viewing potential. What's more is that recently telecast VOD (RTVOD) has emerged as a legitimate choice for consumers who might not have a DVR or simply missed recording last night's episode.
Nielsen's most recent Cross-Platform Report took a look at the on-demand landscape and found some interesting insights to share. Key findings include:
What's more is that RTVOD — where the ad-skipping functionality is often disabled — could be an opportunity for advertisers and programmers alike. Not only do viewers of RTVOD have higher penetration levels across many devices, but they're also more likely to have four or more years of college and to make more than $100,000 per year.
In the full report, which can be downloaded from the Nielsen website, Dounia Turrill, Nielsen's senior vice president of insight, explains that today's viewers are making device and platform choices that have a "profound" impact on the meaning of television and video. For example, this May there was a "great transformation" during a traditionally television-centric time of the year. She's referring, of course, to the Upfronts and the Digital Content NewFronts.
She adds that early conversations around time-shifting and digital became very real. Upfront talks around shifting some deals from Live+3 days to Live+7 days, digital rights, and programmatic buying had those in the media and advertising industry on the edge of their seats. This year, digital publishers came out strong, Turrill says, adding that they are capturing the attention of Millennials in growing numbers and challenging the media landscape.
"The American consumer has never before engaged with more content across media type, media devices, and content type," Turrill concludes. "Understanding, defining, and measuring this curve matters to our clients. Timeshifting allows us to watch more content, video-on-demand allows us to watch more content, and digital delivery allows us to watch more content."

See you soon!
At the Box Canyon Lodge, we love our guests. Whether you have been visiting us for years, or this is your first time to the property, every guest becomes a part of what makes us great.
Nineteen years ago, John and Barbara Uhles offered a special incentive to folks who join the "Once A Month Club". In exchange for coming to see us at least once a month from October through May, members receive incredible discounts and offers on rooms. The club took off, and the lodge has been blessed with an extended family who have visited monthly for years and years.
When Rich and Karen Avery purchased the hotel in 2006, the "Once a Month Club" was an exciting and interesting concept. What better way to learn what does and does not work than from the folks who visit so frequently? Not to mention the opportunity to meet so many of the people who have been an integral part of this amazing property! Friendships formed and continue to thrive and grow. Members come and go, some stay with the club for just one year, while many more become life long members.
The months of October through May, the city of Ouray becomes a much more quiet community. As the snow begins to fall and temperatures drop, access to the high country becomes more limited. Several businesses close for the winter, the owners taking advantage of the chance to explore the outside world, or just relax and prepare for the following summer. Nothing compares to an evening in Ouray when the streets are so quiet it is as if you are the only person in town. Snow falls gently, and the four mineral hot spring tubs in our courtyard are an intimate escape from it all.
The majority of our Once a Month Club members live fairly close to us, but we also have a number of folks from as far away as Denver, Santa Fe and Moab. A number of members have chosen to join the club with family members, friends, or through their businesses. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the benefits of the club without having to worry about whether you can commit to visiting all eight months yourself. From hospitals to families to business associations, we have a wide variety of visitors who enjoy the benefits of the Once a Month Club.
The serene beauty of the Uncompahgres is a magnificent backdrop to whatever winter activities interest you. Whether an avid skiier, snow shoer, ice climber or hot tubber, Ouray serves as a perfect base camp. Telluride is just a short drive for downhill skiing. The Box Canyon Lodge is just at the base of the Ice Park Trail, and any hiking trail becomes the perfect winter adventure for snow shoeing. Ironton Park is only a few miles up the pass for a day cross country skiing on meticulously groomed and maintained trails.
After a day of fall or winter adventuring, how nice to relax in the warm, soothing mineral hot springs!
Once a month members can take advantage of these little getaways much more often, not having to be concerned with a long drive home. Of course, there are times when the discounted rate does not apply, however, with so many other days available, it is simple to plan around.
Every year, as the summer season begins to wind down, everyone at the Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs begins to look forward to October with a feeling of anticipation and excitement. The Club members have started to call, and make dates for the first visit of the season, and we can't wait to start catching up on the past months.
This year, we hope to add to the family, and invite everyone to come and experience a winter in Ouray!
Check out our contract. Fill it out and send it back to us, or just bring it along on your first visit! This year, be sure to expect some great deals for the summer season as well! Every once in a while, we just miss our clubbers, and want to see them during the warm months as well. So, every once in a while, club members may receive an email from us inviting them all to come visit for a last minute getaway!
Join the Club, and become a part of our little extended family here at the Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs!
See You Soon.
Tom Shroer, director of the Ouray Trail Run, has out done himself, organizing and promoting a marathon comparable in difficulty to the Imogene Pass Run at the end of September. The Ouray Trail Run circumnavigates the City of Ouray using 13 miles of single track trails including the Silvershield, Ice Park and Portland trails.
September heralds the changing of the leaves, as the world in the high country prepares for winter. Brilliant splashes of color
Join us for a 13 mile run on the beautiful hiking trails around the city of Ouray Colorado. The Ouray Mountain Trail Run has everything to live up to its name. The course includes slogging climbs, fast descents, fantastic views, and creek crossings including the high bridge over box canyon. Because of the quality of the course the run is limited to 100 participants making this low-key event a great day on the trails.
The adventure starts at 10 a.m. at the Hot Springs Pool with a flat mile of gravel road following the river then on to single track for the rest of the 13 mi. course. The trail run takes place on the last Saturday of September every year in an effort to take advantage of the fall colors with the cool temperatures and clear days of Colorado autumns.
The Ouray Mountain Trail Run is a charity event with proceeds benefitting programs and organizations that get youth outside and active. Last year, the runners were able to help the outdoor program at the high school with some equipment purchases for their river trips. The entrants also put a few tykes on pedal less Strider Bikes through the Axel Project and set up a program to make swim lessons available at the Hot Springs Pool to kids who might not get the chance.
There is a post race raffle where local businesses have donated tokens of appreciation. The heavy hooded sweatshirts from Ourayle House Brewery and the Exotic Earth Coffees are among the most popular examples. Trail Town Still has also always been generous to the run with donations and volunteers.
The Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs is also excited to offer all participants of the race an additional 15% off their stay. There is no better way to relax tired muscles than a long soothing soak in one of our all natural mineral hot spring tubs.
Yet again, Weehawken has outdone itself with the upcoming Ridgway Rendezvous. Artists from all over Colorado and beyond will gather to share their creativity at the event in Ridgways Hartwell Park.
From amazing paintings and ceramics, to jewelry and culinary explosions of talent, the event will focus around the incredible creativity of our local artists.
Live music provides a perfect background, as young and old wander each booth exploring a world of creativity and expression.
A perfect time to get started purchasing the perfect gift for a special someone, or yourself, hand crafted jewelry, candles and beauuty products, and embroidery compliment awesome photography, paintings, glassworks and more talent than can possibly be described in one sentence.
Families bring blankets to recline on the grass while young ones gather in joyful comaraderie and dance to the music of local performers and parents and friends reconnect over a microbrew from one of the food booths, indulging the kids with cotton candy and hot dogS.
Often reffered to as "The Gateway to the Rockies", Ridgway sits at the junction of Highway 550 and 62, just ten miles north of Ouray. With the magnificent San Juans serving as a backdrop to the festival, the Ridgway Rendezvous is considered one of the most picturesque locations for booth set-up and for shoppers in our spacious town park and for successful sales for our vendors. The Rendezvous is a juried show with a commitment to quality.
Several thousand patrons visit the show every year, finding treasures sure to please any person on their shopping lists, as well as original decor not found anywhere else.

Since we last heard from Shawn Mullins on 2008's Honeydew, the Atlanta-based singer/songwriter and band leader has undergone a series of trans-formative experiences, leading to a second coming for the veteran artist. Evidence of Mullins' new found level of musical and lyrical ambition courses comes through with Light You Up (Vanguard Records, October 12). This captivating new song cycle will likely be viewed as a flat-out revelation even by Mullins' most fervent fans.

When people talk of the majesty of the Uncompahgres, images of a blanket of color draped across fields of green often fill our minds.Not to say the idea of the snow capped mountain peaks of winter, or the fantastic reds and yellows of Fall aren't equally breathtaking, there is something idyllic about a cool meadow filled with a rainbow of color.The first glimpse of a field high above timberline, covered in flowers, with a panoramic view of the world can be mind altering. Perhaps it is the thinner air, but that wouldn't translate so clearly into photographs.Mid July through August, the flowers begin to peak in meadows and valleys in the high country, so now is the time to jump in your four wheel drive, and visit!
Thanks to the input from our guests, the National Forest Service and county websites, the staff at the Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs has an up to date listing of where the best flowers can be found:
National Forest Service Information:
A few of our popular viewing areas and hiking trails-
It is hard to believe as we put our jeep into four low and ascend the side of a mountain, high above timberline that once hardy men and women made this journey in the dead of winter an foot and with mule carts heavily laden with gold, silver, and other precious metals.
Driving along the narrow trails and gazing to the side of a 200 foot drop, a jeep tour driver will share stories of how these tough men and women would have to choose between the team of animals or the wagon they were pulling. Sadly, the gold won out much more often than the hardworking donkeys.
At an elevation of over 11,000 feet, the tiny town of Animas Forks began with just one small cabin in 1873, and within three years, boasted over 450 residents. With a post office, jail, general store hotel, and of course, a saloon, the town prospered for a few years during the mining boom. In 1997 and 1998, a grant to San Juan County served to preserve and stabilize the last few buildings of the once bountiful town. Now part of the Alpine Loop scenic byway, Animas Forks is a small window into life in the San Juans in the early 1900's.
Parking at the base of the remaining buildings, one is somewhat haunted by the overwhelming beauty of the area. Only the foundation remains of what was once a boarding house that served as a resting place to over 150 miners. Gazing out of what must have been a basement window, the spectacular views almost make up for the harsh life they must have had.
The Gustavson House was once lauded for its indoor toilet (a glorified outhouse connected by a hallway). The family lived here year round, unlike many of their neighbors who left to winter in Silverton at the first signs of snow.
The Duncan House was built in 1879, and is often mistakenly referred to as the Walsh House, although Tom Walsh never lived there. Its beautiful bay windows look across to the river and the Columbus Mine which sits the the fork of the Animas River.
With work always in progress to maintain the stability of these buildings, one can wander through these old homes and marvel at the tiny rooms, narrow staircases, the incredible views and the "modern conveniences". Glass still covers the windows, and it is easy to be taken away to a different time, as you imagine the hustle and bustle of the streets below less than a hundred years ago.
Animas Forks can be reached either by traveling the Alpine Loop, accessing the town either by Engineer Pass and Cinnamon Pass or California Pass. If you are not looking to spend the day on the jeep trails, you can get there by taking County Road 2 out of Silverton. The first half of the drive is along a well maintained dirt road, eventually becoming a bit more rough. Although I did see some two wheel drive vehicles on the trail, something with a little more clearance might feel more comfortable, and allow for more exploring on the numerous little side trails.
Let the staff at the Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs help you to map out your next adventure in the high country! A perfect base camp for all of your four wheel drive fantasies, our knowledgeable staff will male sure you get everything and more from your visit, not to mention the inviting natural hot spring tubs just outside your door to soak away the dust of the road.
The Ouray Trail Group is a non-profit corporation of volunteers working with the U.S. Forest Service dedicated to the preservation and safe use of hiking trails in Ouray County.
Thanks to these fine individuals, we are fortunate to have miles and miles of mapped and marked trails at our fingertips in Ouray.
One of the newest and most popular trails is the Ouray Perimeter Trail. This 5.2 mile trek encircles the city of Ouray, offering spectacular views and an amazing hike for almost every level of expertise.
Formally, the trail begins across the street from the Ouray Visitor's Center, on the East side of Highway 550, however the true appeal of this trail is its accessibility from several spots in town and off of other trails, as well as linking to a variety of other trails along the way.
To take the formal trail, walk from the visitor center up Main Street then left onto 8th Avenue. The trail takes you past Cascade Falls, to the Ampitheater, follows the Baby Bathtubs trail, and meanders along the Portland Trail for a little bit. Just a few more steps takes you through the Three Pines Day Use Area to Ohio Park.
The Potato Patch brings hikers to the highest point on the trail, at approximately 8500 feet. Spectacular views of the area take your breath away as you cross the highway, and travel along the Ice Park Trail toward the Upper Box Cañon Falls Trail, at which point you will cross a bridge that hovers over 200 feet above the Uncompahgre Gorge and walk through a tunnel carved into the mountain.
The path soon descends onto Oak Street, which leads hikers back to a bridge across the river and into Fellin Park and the Visitors Center.
The popularity of the Perimeter Trail cannot be explained with just one simple answer, it is just a great trail!
Every step offers a vantage of the town below, and the mountains all around. There are steep portions, however the trail is manageable for most levels of hiker. Trail heads intersect the Perimeter Trail frequently, offering a plethora of options and ideas for the next adventure!
Of course, you don't have to start the trail from the Visitors Center, although it is nice to go in and check out all of the interesting and fun things to do in Ouray.
Wherever you decide to hike, remember to be safe! Hiking at altitude can quickly dehydrate you, so be sure to bring water. Wear appropriate shoes. The terrain changes rapidly, and good sturdy shoes will be a blessing to you! Don't be afraid to turn back or take a rest if the trail feels too difficult hiking is not a race. Make sure you let someone know where you are going and when you plan on returning, and try to have at least one other person with you. Hiking is a lot more fun with a buddy!
As always, don't forget your camera! These trails are amazing, with sights and scenery your friends may not believe without proof. Every twist in the path, and every opening in the trees offers a dream panorama for photographers of every level!
And after a nice hike, there is no better way to relax than to take a long soothing soak in one of our all natural mineral hot spring tubs. The Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs is an ideal location for access to the Perimeter Trail, and a plethora of other adventures. Our knowledgeable staff can help you to plan the perfect adventure based on your experience and expertise. From steep switchbacks leading to unbelievable views, to mild meanderings through shady woods, there is no end to the adventures to be had in Ouray!
June almost over, and July is waiting for us in the distance. Soon, all of the passes will be open for the adventurer to explore and experience The days are long and liesurely. Snow melt in the high country creates roaring rivers and seasonal waterfalls at every turn. One needs just to look up to be overwheled by the beauty and majesty of the Uncompahgres.
Wildlife looks on as if we are the ones on display, and wildflowers dot the countryside in a rainbow of colors. Travelling the four wheel drive trasls this time of year is both challenging and immensely thrilling. It is like travelling back in time. Every twist and turn is filled with wonder at the springtime beauty of a world awakening from a long winter nap. Adrenaline pumps through your veins as you wonder whether the mountain will permit passage.
The weather can change in a heart beat. One minute, cruising with the top down and wondering if you put enough sunblock on, and the next pulling on sweaters and raincoats as mother nature teases with rain or snow.
Passes are opening in record time, and by the end of the month will be so well travelled, it will seem like old hat.
Whether this is your first time, or you have been driving these roads for years, comsider taking a tour! The experienced drivers with all of our tour companies take the work out of experiencing the high country! Even if you brought your own vehicle, taking a half day tour is a wonderful way to get a feel for the road conditions and difficulty levels you are comfortable driving yourself. Not to mention the fact that when someone else is driving, you get to focus on the scenery, and getting the perfect shot with your camera!
If you are renting a jeep, or bringing your wn four wheel drive vehicle, please always remember to be safe! Check road conditions prior to setting out, and know the limits of your vehicle, as well as your own comfort levels. Let the satff at the Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs help you to map out the perfect itinerary. They have the most up to date information at their fingertips, and are eager to help you plan an adventure that you will enjoy. Remember to let the staff know when you return, and update us on how the roads are!
Don't forget that every one of these roads is taking you over 9,000 feet. Weather conditions in the high country can change in moments! You are also a lot closer to the sun up there, so please remember sunscreen. Even if it doesn't seem hot or even sunny, take my advice on this one! Sun burns hurt, and make the rest of your dream vacation uncomfortable. Bring layers. In just a few feet, the weather can change from warm and sunny to a wintry snow storm, on into hail, followed by freezing rain, then back to seventy degrees again. If you come to a spot of trail that you are unsure of, scout ahead on foot before attempting. There is no shame in turning around and finding a trail you feel safer on.
Respect your fellow adventurers! Remember, ettiquette on four wheel drive trails allows right of way to up hill drivers, however, often due to the width of the roads, it is appropriate to trade off depending on who has more room. Don't try to pull offf without a comfortable space for your vehicle, and please remember the tundra is extremely fragile, so stay on the designated trails.
Above all, HAVE FUN!!!!!
The majesty of the high country is unbelievable. Bring your cameras, and be sure there is plenty of memory. Every turn holds new wonders to behold, and opportunities to capture just a taste of the San Juans!

A friend of mine sent me this. Don't know if it is true, but it does make a good point.
THEY SAVED A LOT OF PAPERWORK, TOO: An irate man tried to enter a grocery store in West Palm Beach, Fla., through the exit, and manager Marino Hernandez ordered him to leave. The intruder pulled a gun; both Hernandez and his assistant manager had guns, and both pulled them to protect the numerous customers inside. The intruder saw the defense and backed out -- and started shooting. But "When I saw the first bullet hit high," Hernandez said, "right away I knew I was dealing with someone that was not a good shooter," and Hernandez and the assistant manager decided not to shoot back. The gunman fired four shots, but no one was injured. Police arrived and arrested Marshall Hugo Grant, 73, on numerous charges, including attempted murder. (Palm Beach Post) ...The most effective gun control is knowing when not to shoot, even if justified.

So bad, she's going to sit until I get a new one. Knowing the weakness of the aluminum block it was made out of, I'm looking for a steel or stainless steel wedge where this won't ever happen again. I'm searching the all powerful internet now, but if anyone has made these, or has some, please let me know. I'd get two of them for sure in steel. I really don't want to go back with the stock aluminum one after this. Maybe I'll be talking with the machinist guys at work tomorrow too. By the way---it's also called the barrel block. Mine are the target models if that matters. Thanks.

Trailblazers: Powerful Women of Photography the Stacy Pearsall Interview By Stacy Pearsall
Join our own Mia McCormick as she sits down with Stacy and delves into topics that range from how Stacy got started in photography after joining the Air Force at age 17 to the obstacles she had to overcome as a female airman in combat situations, and from what it takes to make tough choices in chaotic situations to the process of transitioning to civilian life after being combat disabled and retired from military service.
This interview kicks off our Trailblazer interview series on powerful women in photography; women who have the courage to tell stories about complicated issues, often under extreme and dangerous situations, and who are among the first female professionals to excel in their chosen discipline of photography.
Video transcripts available with a subscription.
Stacy L. Pearsall got her start as an Air Force photographer at the age of 17. During her time in the service, she traveled to over 41 countries, and attended the Military Photojournalism Program at S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. During three combat tours, she earned the Bronze Star Medal and Air For...

MADURAI: The Sivakasi kidnap drama got a new twist with police sources on Tuesday, confirming that there was indeed a ransom call to the parents of the 14-year-old boy, and that the call was made from Pakistan. The intelligence bureau has been informed due to the 'foreign' angle. What has come to light is the strange case of a boy who ran away from home and how his
Police say the worried parents mistook a wrong call for an abductor, who in turn saw an opportunity in their plight to make some money. Kodeeswaran (14), son of Ramesh Pandian, a realtor from Thiruthangal near Sivakasi, had been missing from home since August 30. A worried Pandian was looking for his son with the help of his relatives.
Meanwhile, a call was made to Pandian's wife's mobile, which she mistook as a ransom call. The parents blurted out to the "Hindi speaker'' on the other line that they wanted their son back and were agreeable to any demand. The caller who had dialed the Pandians by mistake, decided to exploit the vulnerable parents and sought Rs 25 lakh. He gave a bank account number and asked the money to be deposited there. Meanwhile, the boy having read about the ransom call for his release in a Tamil daily returned home. He said he had left home on his own volition because he didn't want to go to school.
Who then called the Pandians and sought ransom?
A senior cyber crime police told TOI that the call was tracked to Pakistan and the account holders traced to Dindigul near Madurai. The Pakistani had dialled Pandians by mistake, but spotted an opportunity in their plight. But how did he dial a Madurai number?
The official said the Pakistani had appointed agents in Dindigul for buying DTH scrap cards from India to beam TV programmes that are banned in Pakistan.
The story unravelled when police traced the bank account, which is held jointly by Eshwaran and Subramani from Dindigul. They told the police that they had received a call from Pakistan two years ago. The caller had asked them to source DTH scrap cards. A 20% commission was promised. The bank account was created for the Pakistani to deposit the money due to the agents. The duo had since been buying DTH cards and selling the serial numbers to the Pakistani, who in turn, used to beam the programmes illegally to his customers.
Police have arrested Eshwaran and Subramani, who said they have never met the 'Pakistani'.
Police have found that the money was deposited into the account from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi. They believe this to be a new form of hawala and suspect a network to be running it.

harlequin1971 Posts: 322not in the US, land of the SUV...
I saw an A3 in Phoenix a few weeks back doing some stress testing, I guess. I looked very nice, upscale and very Audi from the front, and all hatchback/grown-up Golf from the back.
Any chance they could squeeze the 134hp Diesel from the Passat into that bay and you would have a very cool ride that upgrades from the 100hp Golf nicely.
Anyone know what engines they plan to launch here in the US in the A3? I assume the 1.8T will be here, but what else? -
steher Posts: 37Over here Audi puts the following engines in the A3:
- 1.6 105 hp
- 1.6 FSI 115 hp
- 2.0 FSI 150 hp
- 3.2quattro 250 hp
- 1.9 TDI 105 hp
- 2.0 TDI 140 hp
Following engines are planned:
-2.0 TFSI 200 hp
-2.0 TDI ~165 hp
No idea which models will come to the US, but from what I've heard only the 5-door-version will make it to you. It's will be called A3 'Sportsback'.
I've ordered a 2005 Audi A3 2.0 TDI and will take delivery in 4 weeks. I'll post some pics. -
harlequin1971 Posts: 322I am just a bit jealous...140hp diesel A3
If it priced under $27k, I might just be able to do it.
As it is, might have to reconsider a Passat Diesel or hang on to my car for another 24 months. 2007 model year will be the year of diesels in the US...as we move to the cleaner fuels.
But then again, I will have wasted about 1,000 gallons of fuel, if not more. -
wale_bate1 Posts: 1,986I don't think I'm seeing that.
Weird boxy thing with outre detailing:
Tasty smaller version A4 Avant:
I guess you could say they're both wagons... }-]
Right now I'm focusing on the S4 Avant as the next gotta have it, but I won't be ready to shop for about 20 months! So by that time, I'm really hoping an S3 Sportback will be here. The size is perfect and the styling is Audi. Only thing I can't stand is the new grille treatment, but supposedly the tuners already have a fix in a body-colored bumper fill.
Bring it on, says I. -
carman123 Posts: 71Germancarfans.com reports that the A3 will have 5 speed manual and 5 speed automatic for 2.0T, and a 6 speed DSG for 3.2 model. Other sources such as VWvortex and Audiworld report 6 speed transmissions for all models. Also, the pricing for the A3 will be interesting. Reports are stating that it will start around $25,000 for FWD 2.0T models. I think this is too high given that the A4 starts at around $26,000. Why would Audi price the A3 and A4 so close together? The Golf/Jetta and the Passat have about a $3000 difference. Audi needs to price the A3 significantly lower than the A4 imho.
harlequin1971 Posts: 322
byronwalter Posts: 220...I doubt that Audi really can go much lower on the A3 price without losing money. I'd guess that you really have to compare it to the A4 Avant where the A3 would have more of a price advantage.
Frankly I don't care for the looks of the "guppy-grill" A3. I think that the A4 Avant is much snappier looking. OTOH, the A3 with the 3.2 engine and AWD might have a real performance advantage... especially in an S3 variant. Otherwise I will probably stick with the A4 series.

steher Posts: 37Here is the link to the official Audi pics of the Sportback.
http://www.audi.com/de/de/erlebniswelt/unterhaltung/multimedia_ga- lerie/bildgalerie/bildgalerie.jsp
This version of the A3 will make it to the USA.
With this new model also comes a new 2.0T-engine, producing 200hp, also available with the 6-speed-DSG. Another engine for The US will be the 3.2 quattro (6-speed manual/DSG). Base price for the 3.2quattro will be around 30K. -
andys120 Loudon NHPosts: 16,789Weird thing is, I'm starting to like it. I suspect the A3Q will be about the same size/weight as my '98 A4 Avant.

steher Posts: 37The 3-door version of the A3 will get the new grille in 2006 from what I know. And not all Audis will get the new grille in 2005, too. The A8 is supposed to keep it's divided grille (except the W12 has the big one), and the A4/s4 Cabrio won't get the divdied grille, too. But sooner or later all Audis will have thsi sooo good looking feature!
wale_bate1 Posts: 1,986The Audi UK site gallery has been updated for anyone who wants to take a look.
I like the idea of a DSG 3.2 Sportback, but is there any buzz on a potential S3 Sportback? Sure would be fun to drop into that 5.5 sec 0-60 range.
They've got 18 months to get it here. I like the GW green with a tan interior.
Please? :-) -

Can't find the legroom measurement, but Front legroom is the same as the current Golf/Jetta, and the Rear legroom is about 2.5 inches longer than the current Golf/Jetta.

carman123 Posts: 71First drive impressions from the October issues of several of the major car magazines have been published. They all seem to estimate 25k as the base price for the FWD, manual 2.0 turbo. By the time the A3 gets typically equipped with sunroof, metallic paint, tiptronic or DSG, leather, and heated seats--the price would be 29k plus. This would not include quattro AWD, bose stereo, zenons or other options that some buyers will want. Add these options and the price climbs to 32k plus. This is way too high! And it is definitely too close to the A4, which people will perceive to be a step up in the Audi line. The A3 is supposed to attract young buyers to the brand. Young buyers can't afford this.
I bet Audi will blame lack of sales on the fact that it is a hatchback, and we Americans prefer sedans. I've heard this song and dance before, and I don't buy it. IMO, there is a market for hatches. But they have to price it right. Bottom line: base price needs to be closer to 22k with a typically equipped version at 26-27k for the FWD 2.0T. Otherwise it will flop. And high pricing will be the reason.
Just imagine how expensive the 3.2 version will be when fully loaded with all options including navigation system. I would guess 38k or more, which is ridiculous.

We've heard of getting busted in a speed trap before, but a sand trap?
Clayton Baker, 40, was arrested after the Masters ended Sunday when he slipped under the ropes, tried to steal a cupful of souvenir sand and then made a run for it.
And in a related story, Augusta Police now refer to their handcuffs as bunker irons.

Details, details
Bubba Watson's tournament-winning shot out of the trees on the second playoff hole is destined to go down in Masters lore.
"The only differences between Bubba's shot and my game," pointed out blogger Vod Kanockers, "are my 40-yard hooks are never on purpose, and they are generally into, not out of, the woods."

The Yankees got off to an 0-3 start this season — their worst since 1998.

OXiGENE Enters Into Exchange Agreements With Warrant Holders
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OXiGENE, Inc. (Nasdaq:OXGN), a clinical-stage, biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics to treat cancer and eye diseases, has entered into separate Warrant Exchange Agreements with each of the holders of outstanding warrants originally issued in March 2010 to eliminate all of such warrants having "ratchet" price-based anti-dilution protection features in exchange for shares of Company common stock and a lower number of warrants having no price based anti-dilution protections.
Under such separate agreements, these warrant holders have agreed to exchange all of their outstanding Series A and Series C warrants at an initial closing for an aggregate of 21,938,673 shares of Company common stock and Series E warrants to purchase an aggregate of 24,452,468 shares of Company common stock. The Series E warrants are not exercisable for six months, have an exercise price of $0.23 per share and do not contain any price-based anti-dilution protections. In addition, these warrant holders have agreed pursuant to such separate agreements to surrender all of the Series E warrants issued at the initial closing should the Company promptly obtain stockholder approval for the issuance of 9,150,892 additional shares of Company common stock, which would be exchanged for the Series E warrants in a subsequent closing.
The initial closing is expected to take place on or about January 21, 2011, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. OXiGENE's Board of Directors and executive officers and Symphony Capital, who collectively own 25.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, have agreed with the Company to vote to approve the issuance of the additional shares at an upcoming shareholder meeting, which is anticipated to take place early in March 2011. Roth Capital Partners, LLC acted as financial advisor to OXiGENE for this transaction.
"We are extremely pleased to have reached agreement with each of our warrant holders for this warrant exchange, as we believe this transaction will significantly simplify our Company's balance sheet, strengthen both our ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards and to take advantage of future business opportunities and provide flexibility relative to future financing transactions," said Peter J. Langecker, M.D., Ph.D., OXiGENE's Chief Executive Officer.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

When Standard Tap opened its doors in December 1999, our goal was simple: to create a neighborhood tavern that featured great beer and wholesome food. With that in mind, we offer a draft-only beer selection that highlights the vast array of styles crafted by breweries located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Our food menu both complements the beer and expands the notion of what pub food can be. We use only the best available produce, poultry, meats and seafood — much of it from area farms and local vendors – to create fresh, seasonal dishes.

Scott Brown's Massachusetts victory serves notice that Americans don't want big government policies championed by liberal Democrats.
It's not a mandate for Republican tax cuts and deregulation. Rather, from health care to the economy, Democrats should stop accusing critics of deceiving the public and ask what voters would embrace.
To cover the uninsured, Americans would support reforms that made Medicaid and similar programs less expensive and lowered health insurance premiums for the middle class.
Real reform would reduce drug and administrative costs to those in other advanced countries, like Germany or Holland, and end waste imposed by malpractice suits those countries don't endure.
Reform shouldn't impose higher taxes but rather lower costs; the president should apply that yardstick, not budget neutrality. Regarding unemployment, the $789 billion stimulus package won't deliver the 4 million jobs promised. Fanciful dreams of creating a million jobs in green industries are just that -- fanciful dreams. American investments in alternative energy technologies may be essential to global economic leadership in the future, but in the here-and-now green industries can provide less than one-tenth of the jobs needed to pull unemployment down to acceptable levels. Obama must tackle the trade deficit. For many years to come, Americans will use oil and buy manufactured products like cars and computers. Unless Americans export more, or import fewer, of those products, consumer demand won't create enough jobs for Americans. Alternative energy is important, but Americans will use fossil fuels for a long time. The U.S. has abundant, untapped offshore oil and onshore natural gas. Developing those would generate taxes to reduce the budget deficit and create jobs in drilling, refining and supporting industries.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Adam Helms. This solo in the MCA's Paper Works Gallery is the New York artist's first museum show anywhere. In his works on paper and in a monumental sculpture that conjures up a shooting blind, Helms explores political themes, especially armed struggle. He takes images of different radical and extremist movements from different places and times and makes copies of them. Then he combines them into singular images to create archetypes. In "Shadow: Portrait of a Jihadi," for instance, Helms has taken a shot of what looks like an American soldier in 1960s Vietnam and blackened out the face in the manner of the hooded Islamic terrorists of today. His technique is as interesting as his imagery, and in this piece, he has silkscreen-printed both sides of a sheet of translucent vellum, lending it an almost hallucinogenic character. Through January 18 at the MCA Denver, 1485 Delgany Street, 303-298-7554, www.mcadenver.org.
Alchemy. The green movement has gained ground lately, even if a lot of it is little more than marketing hype. One green-is-good idea is soft recycling, wherein found materials are assembled and used in their original forms. This approach has many supporters, and it's the chief connection linking the three artists featured in this impressive exhibit. The first is Colorado's Stan Meyer, who's been doing soft recycling for decades. Meyer employs tar paper that's meant to be used for roofs to create his abstract wall sculptures. Ann Weber, the second of the three artists, also uses prosaic materials — essentially cardboard and staples, though a few are more traditional, like bronze. Weber, from California, first came to the attention of Denver art enthusiasts when she completed a commission for "Promenade," a sculpture installed at Skyline Park. The final player is Marta Thoma, also from California, who uses recycled bottles as her principal material. Through January 3 at William Havu Gallery, 1040 Cherokee Street, 303-893-2360, www.williamhavugallery.com. Reviewed December 11.
Clyfford Still Unveiled. A master and pioneer of mid-twentieth-century abstract expressionism, painter Clyfford Still was something of an eccentric in the artist-as-egomaniac stripe. His antisocial behavior led to a situation where 94 percent of his artworks remained together after he died — a staggeringly complete chronicle of his oeuvre that is now owned by the City of Denver. As a planned Clyfford Still Museum won't be completed until 2010, the institution's founding director, Dean Sobel, decided to preview a baker's dozen of Still's creations at the Denver Art Museum. Sobel uses the very small show to lay out most of the artist's career and stylistic development. Still worked his way from regionalism to surrealism, then wound up developing abstract expressionism with one of the greatest abstract paintings imaginable, "1944 N No. 1" — and the rest is art history. Through January 18 at the Denver Art Museum, 100 West 14th Avenue Parkway, 720-865-5000. Reviewed July 26, 2007.
Damien Hirst. You'd have to be living under a rock — or have absolutely no interest in contemporary art — not to know that Damien Hirst is a superstar, and that everything he makes is worth millions of dollars apiece. The tight solo at MCA Denver (formerly known as the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver) is not the first time that local art audiences have had a chance to see Hirst's creations in person, but it is his first single-artist show anywhere in the American West. Hirst's "Natural History" series of dead animals in cases is surely his most famous type of work. There's an incredible one in the MCA show called "Saint Sebastian: Exquisite Pain," made up of a bullock that's been pierced with arrows. It's simultaneously compelling and repellent. "Saint Sebastian" dominates the Large Works Gallery, but there are three other Hirst pieces, including two very different paintings from his "Butterfly" series, in which actual butterflies are affixed to the paintings, and one of his post-minimal "Medicine Cabinets." It's apparent that Hirst is brilliant, with an eye for beauty, though his mind goes in for ugliness. Through August 30 at MCA Denver, 1485 Delgany Street, 303-298-7554, www.mcadenver.org. Reviewed October 16.
Daniel Richter: A Major Survey. Christoph Heinrich, the curator of modern and contemporary art at the Denver Art Museum, must be a workaholic — the latest evidence being this exhibit featuring more than fifty Daniel Richter paintings, most of which are monumental in size. Heinrich sees the youthful Richter as among the most important painters working in Germany today. Richter credits French impressionism among his inspirational sources, but he is more of an heir to early-twentieth-century expressionists like Edvard Munch and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. He is also connected to modernists like Asger Jorn, whom Richter believes to be among his aesthetic foundations. In most of the paintings in the show, Richter has tried to cram as much visual material into his pictures as he can. He also applies paint in many different ways and in an array of hues so that they explode with form and color. This DAM solo reveals Richter's talent and, even more so, his heroic ambition. Through January 11 at the Denver Art Museum, 100 West 14th Avenue Parkway, 720-865-5000, www.denverartmuseum.org. Reviewed October 9.
Garden of Nineveh. Terry Maker is a well-known Boulder artist who's been exhibiting her extremely original pieces for the past 25 years. Beginning with the concept of "wants and desires" — Maker's and those of people in general — she created an installation with three distinct parts: an audio component and two different wall treatments. The first aspect, the soundtrack, was recorded at the museum itself, with visitors asked to talk about their private wants and desires. Though conceptually strong in light of her theme, the voice tracks are much less interesting than the visual effects.
